1) "Likewise, wives, be submissive to your own husbands, so that, even if some do not believe the Word, by the conduct of their wives they may without a word be won, 2) when they observe your reverent, chaste conduct. 3) Let your adornment not be that outward braiding of the hair and wearing gold, nor putting on clothes; 4) rather let it be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is priceless in the eyes of God. 5) For in this way, also the holy wives of old who trusted in God adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, 6) as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; you are her daughters as long as you do what is good and are not at all afraid of intimidation."


Class one railroads in the United States are currently experiencing a revival of growth. Train technology has improved to become more energy-efficient, and train use has grown in terms of both passengers and freight, with growth expected to continue. It is necessary to maintain rail infrastructure to keep up with the growth the industry is experiencing. The demand for trains is greater than the capacity of the rail lines, which causes delays. It is necessary for many railroads to build additional tracks. Recently, a second track was added to the Los Angeles-to-San Diego line in Carlsbad, California. The project improved the capacity and reliability of passenger train service. There are similar projects being developed around the United States. Adding additional tracks has been shown to be a highly successful solution to capacity problems.


Background and Purpose— Oligodendrogenesis is essential for white matter repair after stroke. Although agonists of peroxisome proliferator–activated receptors &ggr; confer neuroprotection in models of cerebral ischemia, it is not known whether this effect extends to white matter protection. This study tested the hypothesis that the peroxisome proliferator–activated receptors &ggr; agonist rosiglitazone enhances oligodendrogenesis and improves long-term white matter integrity after ischemia/reperfusion. Methods— Male adult C57/BL6 mice (25–30 g) were subjected to 60-minute middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion. Rosiglitazone (3 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally once daily for 14 days beginning 2 hours after reperfusion. Sensorimotor and cognitive functions were evaluated ⩽21 days after middle cerebral artery occlusion. Immunostaining was used to assess infarct volume, myelin loss, and microglial activation. Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was injected for measurements of proliferating NG2+ oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) and newly generated adenomatous polyposis coli+ oligodendrocytes. Mixed glial cultures were used to confirm the effect of rosiglitazone on oligodendrocyte differentiation and microglial polarization. Results— Rosiglitazone significantly reduced brain tissue loss, ameliorated white matter injury, and improved sensorimotor and cognitive functions for at least 21 days after middle cerebral artery occlusion. Rosiglitazone enhanced OPC proliferation and increased the numbers of newly generated mature oligodendrocytes after middle cerebral artery occlusion. Rosiglitazone treatment also reduced the numbers of Iba1+/CD16+ M1 microglia and increased the numbers of Iba1+/CD206+ M2 microglia after stroke. Glial culture experiments confirmed that rosiglitazone promoted oligodendrocyte differentiation, perhaps by promoting microglial M2 polarization. Conclusions— Rosiglitazone treatment improves long-term white matter integrity after cerebral ischemia, at least, in part, by promoting oligodendrogenesis and facilitating microglial polarization toward the beneficial M2 phenotype.


The article presents the results of study of composition, structure and properties of three genetic types of serpentinite, developed by chromite-bearing ultrabasic rocks, by metamorphic zones of carbonate rocks and within the zone of weathering of ultrabasic rocks. The samples were selected from deposits, located along the Main Ural Fault—the Paleozoic subduction zone (named GUR). Peculiarities of microstructure, chemical composition and properties of serpentinites formed in different geological conditions were investigated and their comparative study was held. They were devided three groups of serpentinites with oriented and non-oriented structure which formed by different protholites: mantle, lithosphere and crust. Serpentine is a polygenic mineral which is forming in various geological conditions. Experimental studies show that various polymorphic modifications of serpentine are stable at different temperatures and pressures, and the antigorite is a stable phase under conditions of high pressures. The obtained experimental data show that elastic characteristics of minerals change depending on phase composition of serpentine (1). These data show that serpentine can be the reference points of deep mantle and subduction processes (2). That can be used for the interpretation of geophysical data and our knowledge of the deep structure of a lithosphere (3, 4). The strong seismic anisotropy observed in subducted slabs below the transition zone may be difficult to explain without strong preferential orientation in the mineralic phase in the slab. The MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O system is well known to be a simplified model system for the study of water transport and recycling into Earth's mantle via subduction processes (5).


Polymorphous Low Grade Adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is a relatively newer entity under the sub-classification of adenocarcinoma, which arises mainly from the minor salivary glands. PLGA is difficult to diagnose both clinically and histopathologically due to its indolent presentation and its morphological diversity that includes several microscopic patterns. It is an uncommon malignant neoplasm with low aggressiveness accounting for about 2% of all salivary gland tumours. We are reporting this case of PLGA which arose from the minor salivary gland over the hard palate.


With the rapid development of economy,China has become the fastest dioxide emissions increasing country. In order to promote the development of low-carbon economy,how to guide the enterprise to actively and effectively implement the low-carbon supply chain management have become the presently existing problems to be urgently solved of the government and the society. In this paper, the government and the core enterprise are the main body of the game in the low-carbon supply chain. Different game strategies are analyzed in their costs and benefits; the dynamic evolutionary game model is established and obtained the evolutionary stable strategy of their game. Thus the deep reason is explained that why the enterprise always try to escape from the government supervision. In addition,it shows that the costs and benefits of the core enterprises to implement low-carbon supply chain management,subsidies and punishments from governments directly affect the game results.


Let $A \cong k\langle X \rangle / I$ be an associative algebra. A finite word over alphabet $X$ is $I${\it-reducible} if its image in $A$ is a $k$-linear combination of length-lexicographically lesser words. An {\it obstruction} in a subword-minimal $I$-reducible word. A {\em cogrowth} function is number of obstructions of length $\le n$. We show that the cogrowth function of a finitely presented algebra is either bounded or at least logarithmical. We also show that an uniformly recurrent word has at least logarithmical cogrowth.


ASTM Subcommittee G01.11 on Electrochemical Measurements in Corrosion Testing has conducted round-robin testing on the reproducibility of cyclic potentiodynamic polarization measurements for determining susceptibility to localized corrosion. This work was used in the development of a practice that provides a standard experimental procedure for conducting these tests. This paper presents the experimental procedure and results of the round-robin tests with statistical analysis of the data. The reproducibility of the measurements and sources of error are discussed.


Instead of simply relying on static comparative advantage considerations, the governments of the three second-tier South-East Asian newly industrializing countries of Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand have all intervened to diversify their economies. Such diversification has included the promotion of new crops (e.g. oil palm) and natural resource exploitation, i.e. diversification of primary production, as well as the promotion of manufacturing. Besides import-substituting and export-oriented manufacturing, primary commodity processing and resource-based manufacturing more broadly have been very important for the industrialization of these countries. Malaysia´s palm-oil refining, Thailand´s agro-processing and Indonesia´s plywood manufacturing have figured significantly in their development of internationally competitive industrial capabilities.


While competition for scarce space in a Database Systems course curriculum increases, the amount of time spent in many such courses on data modeling decreases. We instead recommend increasing the a...


The purpose of this research is to study face images according to the difference of facial shape and make-up. A variety of face images can be formulated by computer graphic simulation, combining numerously different facial shapes and make-up styles. In order to check out the diverse images by make-up styles, we applied five forms of eye brows, two types of eye shadows, and three lip shapes to the round-shaped face of a model. The question sheet, used with a operational stimulant in the experiment, contained 28 articles, composed of a pair of bi-ended adjective in 7 point scale. Data were analyzed using Varimax perpendicular rotation method, Duncan's Multiple Range Test, and Three-way ANOVA. After comparing various results of make-up application to various face types, we could find that facial shape, eye-brows, eye-shadow, and lip shapes influence interactively on total facial images. As a result of make-up image perception analyses, a factor structure was divided into mildness, modernness, elegance, and sociableness. Speaking of make-up image in terms of those factors, round form make-up style showed the highest level of mildness. Upward and straight style of make-up had the highest of modernness. Elegance level went highest when eye shadow style was round form and lip style was straight. Lastly, an incurve lip make-up style showed the highest of sociableness.

The relationship between the electroencephalographic level and the blood pressure can provide data on neural influences; in general there is a rapid fall in BP during sleep. This fall has to do with sleeping and not with lying in bed; it is probably due to withdrawal of sympathetic tone. Fig 1 shows the intra-arterial blood pressure record of a patient who had a phaeochromocytoma. She slept rather well, probably because it was by then the third night of the study and she had slept badly for two nights. During dreams there was a tremendous fluctuation which is really just an exaggeration of what happens in normal people.


This paper focuses on the potential contributions of optimal test design models to practical test assembly issues. These issues result from limitations in the models or the technology required for their implementation and limitations inherent in the test assembly process as it is currently configured, regardless of whether tests are assembled by computerized assembly algorithms or by experienced test specialists. Explication of these issues helps identify future challenges for researchers who may refine and enhance the models and for practitioners who may integrate the models into their operational procedures.


Pre‐existing but untranslated or 'poised' mRNA exists as a means to rapidly induce the production of specific proteins in response to stimuli and as a safeguard to limit the actions of these proteins. The translation of poised mRNA enables immune cells to express quickly genes that enhance immune responses. The molecular mechanisms that repress the translation of poised mRNA and, upon stimulation, enable translation have yet to be elucidated. They likely reflect intrinsic properties of the mRNAs and their interactions with trans‐acting factors that direct poised mRNAs away from or into the ribosome. Here, I discuss mechanisms by which this might be regulated.


These experiments were performed to ascertain whether patients who had recovered from the bronchopneumonia accompanying influenza had developed antibodies that could be demonstrated by the complement fixation test, Bacillus influenzae being used as antigen. During the recent epidemic in the First Naval District, attempts were made in this laboratory to demonstrate agglutinins, precipitins or opsonins in the blood of the patients who had the disease. The results so far have been negative with B. influenzae . This, indeed, was disappointing, as it was hoped that individuals who had recovered might show some demonstrable changes in the blood which would indicate the part the immune processes might have played in their recovery. This expectation was especially strengthened in view of the highly suggestive results obtained by Drs. McGuire and Redden 1 in their treatment of patients in the active stage of influenzal pneumonia with serum from patients who had recovered from the


As a "problem domain",teaching-research type of universities should be examined from macro-,middle-and micro-level of viewpoint.In the "problem domain",there should be such areas as educational idea,purpose orientation,management system,operational mechanism,president choice,training mode,professional development,academic subject building,curriculum system,teaching mode,academic appraisal,etc.A general illustration to the above problems should be the basis and presupposition for a systematic exploration of building and developing a teaching-research type of university.


The input current of three-phase uncontrolled rectifier has a large range of high-frequency harmonic components.DC link active power filter(APF) is paralleled at dc side of the rectifier to suppress the input harmonic current of the rectifier.Compensation performance of three-phase DC link APF was researched in this paper at frequency-domain.Quantitative analytical results were obtained to express the relationship between current controller bandwidth and THD of the input current.Using this method,the compensation performance of DC link APF and AC link APF was compared.The result indicated that,under the current bandwidth of 1kHz,Current THD of three-phase DC link APF is 0.41%,while Current THD of AC link APF is 9.63% with the same three-phase rectifier load.Three-phase DC link APF with dual-loop average current control is designed to suppress the rectifier harmonic current.Experimental results indicate that the harmonic current of three-phase uncontrolled rectifier is effectively compensated under the current bandwidth of 1kHz.

The authors analyze the demographic statistics on 1000 citizens of Tournai taken from the genealogical records in order to describe some basic demographic characteristics of the nineteenth-century population of Tournai. In selecting these 1000 ancestors a random sample consisting of 50 males and 50 females was taken for each decade between 1780 and 1879 from parish records. The benefits of this approach are compared with those of other historical demographic methods such as family reconstitution (ANNOTATION)


This book is the most comprehensive description of the decades-long Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System (NARS) project, including its philosophical foundation, methodological consideration, conceptual design details, implications in the related fields, and its similarities and differences to many related works in cognitive science. While most current works in Artificial Intelligence (AI) focus on individual aspects of intelligence and cognition, NARS is designed and developed to attack the AI problem as a whole.


The transformation of public or governmental organisations has become a strategic issue for the "modernisation" of Mexico, according to conutry's authorities. However, this "modernisation" project in public sector based on ideas stemming from the so called New Public Management (NPM), is facing several dilemmas to be implemented successfully. The main argument here is that in Mexico, the concepts of control and power are different from those embraced by countries that have generated the basic ideas of today's managerial reforms (USA and Common-wealth countries). Following the track of an old Mexican institution, as old as at least Colonial times, patrimonialism, we can understand that the necessity of control of local or particular powers through a centralised one, and the permanent tension between these two, are the basic platform for individual and group behaviour.

SUMMARY a, antitrypsin is an important immunoregulatory protein, the serum level of which is genetically determined. Deficient phenotypes of this ubiquitous protease inhibitor are associated with a variety of inflammatory diseases including anterior uveitis. In order to investigate the role of this protease inhibitor in the pathogenesis of retinal vasculitis (RV) 25 patients were investigated. Diseases associated with RV included Behqet's syndrome (8), SLE (2), and sarcoidosis (1). Deficient phenotypes of ac antitrypsin were not associated with RV. However, the serum a, antitrypsin level was significantly increased in patients with active RV and paralleled disease activity in patients studied prospectively.


Thin films of Bi2(Sr,Ca)2CuOx were prepared by ion-beam sputtering with low-energy (1–10 eV) oxygen ion assist. The 2201 phase with good crystallinity can be grown dominantly at very low temperature using only oxygen gas at a substrate temperature Ts=540 °C and average oxygen partial pressure Po=0.75 mTorr without assist. Single phase 2201 can be grown with assist under the same Ts and Po conditions. The assist exhibits other effects, such as promotions of 2201 growth and oxidation for lower Ts and Po and suppression of 2201 phase decomposition for higher Ts. The assist enhances Cu atom incorporation, and reduces excess Bi-composition and Bi-related impurity phases in the film. The assist also has effects on surface smoothing and modifies the c parameter. These depend more strongly on the assist ion flux than on energy, indicating that the enhancement of 2201 nucleation is the important mechanism for these effects, as well as the preferential resputtering by the assist ions.


This study focuses on the robust control of stabilized platform of rotary steering drilling system. Firstly, the uncertain and nonlinear mathematical model of stabilized platform is given by considering the outside interference, drilling technology and geometrical parameter perturbation of the borehole on stabilized platform under work condition. Then, an adaptive neural network sliding mode control strategy is introduced,, which uses sliding mode control to guarantee system robustness, makes the uncertain upper bound adjust adaptively with RBF neural network to nonlinear approximate the upper bound of overall uncertainty, reduces chattering by quasi-sliding mode control method. Finally, particle swarm optimization algorithm is applied to search the optimal controller parameters, including adaptive parameter of neural network weight, boundary layer thickness and switching function coefficient. Simulation results demonstrate that the control strategy proposed can make stabilized platform get optimal control performance and robustness.


It is the purpose of this report to compile published and unpublished ATR Core-I Test Results in one document; i.e. the objective of this document is the collection of test results which were previously presented, and a minimum of editing was done. The purpose of the Core-I Tests was to determine the engineering performance characteristics of the ATR fuel elements. The Tests were conducted during the period February-May 1969. A summary of the Test Results and a compilation of the key photographs and drawings are presented. The Tests revealed that the heat removal characteristics of a clean-cold core can be calculated very well. The ATR has good emergency-flow and natural-convection heat-removal capabilities. The corrosion rate of the fuel-plate cladding is significantly less than expected via the ORNL Griess Equation, which was based on ex-reactor studies.


Most cities under traditional operation mode, which does not use modern communication technologies, are facing urban issues such as energy crisis. To ensure the quality of living in cities, many governments and organizations are coming with different innovative ideas. Recently, the concept of a sustainable smart city has been introduced. Studies have indicated that facility management is the key to achieving sustainability; however, it is challenging to integrate heterogeneous data. The traditional computing tools are inefficient to process big data, and the operating platform for facility management is mostly two dimensional. This research introduces the framework based on GIS-BIM-AI to solve those problems. The framework is applied to energy demand management in the small part of the real city, its prototype is developed, and performance is evaluated where the most important achievement is the development of a smart city operating platform that has single 3D data repository, efficient AI-based urban analytics tools, and powerful 3D visualization with a control centre to visualize, operate and manage facilities. All these features improve the quality of services and citizen's satisfaction, saves resources, time and cost, enhances transparency,and promote public participation in decision making, which are the core principles for sustainability.


The business press is full of articles extolling the benefits of digital transformation. Although no one wants to be left behind, getting caught up in a craze is not attractive either. But oil and gas companies have used digital technologies, such as computers and control systems for years; how is digitalisation different? The key difference between a company with digital systems and a 'digital company' is connection. The former is characterised by disparate, unconnected digital systems, whereas the 'digital company' integrates the company's systems, improving the precision of each. This enables integrated solutions, reducing the potential for counterproductive individual initiatives. Integration enables Big Data and Machine Learning, delivering additional insights. However, integration is not a universal good; as knowledge acquisition has accelerated, so has misinformation. There are better and worse ways to digitalise. Acknowledgement that digitalisation is the way of the future will not induce change or ensure success. Digitalisation is an alternative method to achieve business goals; it is not the goal. To achieve real success using digital technologies, first a significant need must be identified. The root cause of the major business problems must be discovered before appropriate digital technologies to address those problems are selected. The challenge must be led and supported at the C-suite and the solutions must have enterprise-wide impact. Systems engineering digitalisation creates value through a set of initiatives rather than single-point optimisation. Selection of a suitable scalable digital backbone is a key element of successful implementation.


In 1953 Joan Robinson, at the University of Cambridge, in England, published a challenge to what she chose to call the neoclassical theory of production. She claimed that it did not make sense to use a production function of the form Q = f(L, K),1 in which the rate of interest or profit (the two terms are used interchangeably) was assumed to equal the marginal product of capital, ∂Q/∂K, for it confused two distinct concepts of capital. The variable K could not represent simultaneously the physical stock of capital goods and the value of capital from which the rate of profit was calculated. A related critique was then offered by Piero Sraffa (1960). In place of the marginal productivity theory of income distribution, Robinson and her Cambridge colleagues, Nicholas Kaldor and Luigi Pasinetti, argued for what they called a "Keynesian" theory of distribution in which


Objective: To evaluate the effect of calcitropic hormone in patients with diabetes mellitus complicated with hyperten-sion. Methods:Serum calcium and phosphorus,parathyroid hormone (PTH) ,calcitonin (CT) ,OGTT,insulin (INS) ,and C-peptide (C-P) were measured in 15 healthy persons (control group) and 40 diabetic patients which included 21 non-hyper-tensives (group 1) and 19 hypertensives (group 2). The ratio of PTH/CT and the index of glucose/insulin were calculated. Results:The levels of serum calcium,CT,and the index of glucose/insulin in group 2 significantly decreased compared with the other two groups (P 0.01), and the levels of PTH, insulin at OGTT 2 hours, and the ratio of PTH/CT in group 2 sig-nificantly increased compared with the other two groups (P0.01). There was a positive correlation between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the level of serum PTH,and PTH/CT analyzed by single factor correlation. The ratio of PTH/CT is a main factor in the onset of hypertension in diabetic patients analyzed by multiple progressive regression. Conclusion: The study of the levels of serum PTH,CT,and the ratio of PTH/CT has an important value in pathogenesis of hypertension in diabetic patients.


The accurate detection of deception is a challenge to a variety of workers, be it in the scientific field or the civil or criminal investigative agencies engaged in the ongoing quest for truth. One recent technique which still is in its infancy, but with many promising possibilities, is the magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). It is a type of specialized MRI scan which measures the hemodynamic response related to neural activity in the brain and as a consequence of this can help in establishing with a great amount of accuracy (90–93%) whether a person is lying or not. However, till date, all the tests have been conducted in experimental situations. It is still too early to tell whether or not we have in our hands a good testing tool to detect deception.


We aim at presenting a theoretical discussion concerning the online advice letter discourse genre chronotope. To do so, we review Bakhtin's Circle studies as well as the sociological researches from Giddens' perspective. The data is formed by 30 (thirty) instances of advice letter discourse genre published on online magazines: Claudia, Nova and Veja during March 10 th to 17 th , 2010. Initially, we analyze the social dimension of the genre, focusing on the social sphere and its chronotope. We observe that contemporary journalism of online magazines has been characterized as specialized journalism, following multiple discursive paths, among them entertainment and self-help. In relation to the broad chronotope, we perceive that advice letters are constituted in the socio-historical conditions of late modernity, a space-time of existential anxiety, within the culture of risks and the incessant search for answers to problems of social life. With regard to the narrow chronotope of the genre advice letters, in the social situation of interaction, we found that the authorial position is discursively constructed by professionals of different spheres of performance that sign the letters, who are called advisors or articulators by the magazines. As for the prospective interlocutor, we understand him or her as the reader of the magazine, a subject interested in knowing about the intimate problems of others and the solutions proposed for these problems (that, in fact, may be projections of their own). From these results about the genre chronotope, we understand the advice letter as a hybrid discourse genre permeated by the discourse of entertainment and self-help journalism.


An assessment of 1-D and 3-D thermo-fluid simulation methods was performed to predict underhood temperature distributions in a prototypical diesel heavy-duty truck engine compartment. The Participant conducted full-vehicle dynamometer tests to generate data for validation. The Contractor developed analytical models and conducted integrated engine thermal-systems simulations using 1-D thermal-fluid network flow model to account for overall energy balance, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to resolve the 3-D flow field component temperature distributions.


1. Curves expressing the relation between the amount of isotonic NaC1 and the amount of isotonic sucrose in the haemolytic system and the value of the resistance constant have been obtained for both saponin and sodium taurocholate haemolysis.

2. The form of these curves indicates that the rate of change of the resistance constant is inversely proportional to the completeness of the system with respect to the electrolyte NaC1.

3. The results also imply that neither saponin nor sodium taurocholate will produce haemolysis in a system in which all of the electrolyte is replaced by isotonic sucrose.

4. Such electrolyte-free systems have not been obtained, since the replacement of all the electrolyte NaC1 of a human red cell suspension by isotonic sucrose itself results in hsemolysis.

5. The local inactivity (i.e. the value of I) of sodium taurocholate in concentrations of about 1 in 1000 passes through a maximum and finally tends to disappear as increasingly greater amounts of isotonic sucrose are contained in the system.

6. Changes in the value of the resistance constant R are readily produced by variations in the method of formation of the haemolytic system.


A comparison of real-time acousto-optic processors for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image formation has been performed. These processors take advantage of the high processing speed and large time bandwidth product of acousto-optic devices (AOD's) in combination with the multichannel correlation capability of charge coupled devices (CCD) to form the SAR image in real time. They offer significant size, weight and power consumption advantages compared to conventional optical or digital processors. The required two dimensional matched filtering operation is performed as a series of one dimensional operations. First, the matched filtering is performed in range using an AOD. Then the azimuth correlation is performed using a reference mask and a CCD operating as time delay and integrate correlator. The first operation is performed coherently on each radar pulse return while the second is an incoherent correlation performed over the several pulses required to form the synthetic aperture. Two features common to this type of architecture which might limit their applicability are the presence of unwanted signal-dependent bias terms and the inability to perform true complex processing. Architectures utilizing both spatial carriers and subtraction schemes for elimiminating the unwanted bias terms have been analyzed. Also, multichannel architectures for complex (quadrature) processing have been addressed. In addition to imaging performance, the impact of these approaches on system complexity, real-time processing speed and required component capabilities will also be discussed. Results from both our analysis and the experimental implementation of a selected group of these architectures will be presented.

We analyse how vertical or horizontal fiscal equalization affects the overprovision of local public goods due to vertical fiscal externality, when there is tax evasion. The regional governments overspending incentive is examined both in case of a fiscal equalization based on pretax earned income and reported taxable income.


Background and Objective: The massive parallel sequencing technology facilitates new discoveries in terms of transcript differential analysis; however, all the new findings must be validated, since the diversity of transcript expression may impair the identification of the most relevant ones.
Methods: The proposed RLeave algorithm (implemented in the R environment) utilizes a combination of conventional analysis (classic edgeR) together with other mathematical methods (Leave-one-out sample technique and Decision Trees validation) to identify more relevant candidates to be in vitro or in silico validated.
Results: The RLeave protocol was tested using miRNome expression analysis of two sample groups (diabetes mellitus and acute lymphoblastic leukemia), and both had their most important differentially expressed miRNA confirmed by RT-qPCR.
Conclusion: This protocol is applicable in RNA-SEQ research, highlighting the most relevant transcripts for in silico and/or in vitro validation.


Aim To study the synthesis and biological activities of several 6-(4-aminophenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridazine-3-one derivatives.Methods Eight new 6-(4-aminophenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridazine-3-one derivatives were synthesized.Cardiovascular and antitumor activities were tested.Results and conclusion All of the new compounds have never been reported before,and their structures were determined by elemental analysis,IR,()~1H-NMR and mass spectrum.The pharmacological tests,which include the tests of cardiovascular and antitumor activities,show that the target compounds play little role in the rhythm of the right atria of a rat in vitro,but they possess strong inotropic activity,especially (Ⅰ_d) and Ⅱ_a, on the other hand,all of the eight compounds can inhibit the growth of four cancer cell types A549(non-small cell lung),BGC-823(gastric),HL-60(leukemia)and SMMC-7721(liver)in vitro to a certain extent,and they show selective inhibition on HL-60.Compounds Ⅰ_b and Ⅱ_c display significant potency against A549.


T he Internet's ascension from an obscure U.S. Department of Defense experiment to a cultural icon has been remarkable. In less than a decade, it has extended into nearly every facet of society, from commerce to education to gaming. As of August 2006, there were approximately 92 million Web sites [3]. With the sheer quantity of sites, evaluating their success has added importance, but determining appropriate metrics to measure success isn't a trivial task. Previous research on Web site success has often taken the perspective of the user, more specifically looking at consumer adoption of e-commerce Web sites. However, Web sites will have various goals, and success is clearly linked to achieving these goals. In addition, users and Web site owners may have different goals as well, and unless there is convergence of these goals, success will be evaluated differently by the two parties. Since users view the organization through its Web site and the organization represents itself through its Web site, we argue that successful Web sites should be designed to address the multiple goals of the owner while taking into account the multiple audiences of the site. The better a site can help the convergence of the goals of the users and the owners, the more successful the site will be. These perspectives are captured in the following Web site success considerations:


Relevance to family physicians Osteoporosis has long been a major public health concern. Health care costs and human costs in reduced quality of life are high. Fractures due to osteoporosis result in physical deformity, acute and chronic symptoms, impaired physical and emotional function, decreased enjoyment of life, and shorter lifespan. Estrogen therapy can preserve bone mineral density (BMD) in both younger and older postmenopausal women. It has, however, undesirable effects on many other organs. Debate continues as to its effect on risk of breast cancer. To date, no large randomized clinical trials have evaluated its efficacy against fractures. Raloxifene, a tissue-specific estrogen agonist, has estrogenlike ef fects on bone and serum lipid levels, but does not af fect the endometrium or breast. It has been associated, however, with a decreased incidence of estrogen-responsive malignancies in the breast and endometrium. Raloxifene's ef fects on BMD, serum cholesterol concentrations, and the uterine endometrium in healthy postmenopausal women have been reviewed elsewhere. We now look at whether raloxifene has any efficacy in preventing fractures, especially in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.


Economists have directed attention to the role of corporate governance in determining the performance of business enterprises well before the issue was thrust into prominence by the troubles of Enron, WorldCom, and others. Much of this literature examines the consequences of different mechanisms for corporate control. An important part of this literature stresses the role of banks in corporate governance.

Jonathan apple trees on MM104 rootstock, grown in Perlite in pots with controlled nutrient supply, initiated more flowers in the axillary buds of the main stem in the first year of growth if exposed for part of the time to ammonium ions than if grown on nitrate nitrogen continuously. The duration and timing of ammonium treatment was not critical; exposure for 24 h was as effective as exposure for 8 weeks and treatment as late as February was as effective as earlier treatment. Initiation was increased over most of the stem length by all ammonium treatments.


Within this thesis, a new DEPFET active pixel sensor was developed. It is dedicated to X-ray imaging at the European X-ray free electron laser facility currently under construction in Hamburg. In order to resolve the enormous contrasts occurring in FEL experiments, this new sensor is designed for nonlinear amplification. Apart from the experimental characterization of first prototypes, 2D and 3D device simulations will be presented within this thesis allowing for a better understanding of the complex physical processes during the operation of the DEPFET.


This paper is a statement of intent rather than the description of a piece of completed work. It outlines a proposed Internet based material database to be developed for the specific purpose of collecting and communicating information of acknowledged variable quality, for use in situations where more detailed information is lacking. The proposed system will consist of two main modules. The first is a freeform database with open access for both contributing and consulting information. The second will be a compilation of methods developed by practical problem solvers in dealing with materials related problems in the presence of inadequate, unreliable or even nonexistent data.Copyright © 2008 by ASME


ABSTRACT We determined whether gyrA mutations were present in fluoroquinolone-resistant laboratory mutants derived from theBacteroides fragilis reference strain ATCC 25285 and in clinical isolates of B. fragilis. The two first-step mutants selected on ciprofloxacin (CIP) were devoid of gyrAmutations, whereas two of the three CIP-selected second-step mutants studied presented the same gyrA mutation leading to a Ser82Phe change. Unusual GyrA alterations, Asp81Asn or Ala118Val, were detected in two of the three first-step mutants selected on trovafloxacin (TRO), Mt3 and Mt1, respectively. The Ala118Val change had no effect on the susceptibility of Mt1 to CIP. No second-step mutant could be obtained with TRO as a selector. For the 12 clinical isolates studied, a Ser82Phe change in GyrA was found only in the 3 strains which showed the highest levels of TRO resistance (MIC, 4 μg/ml). Thus, the resistance phenotypes and genotypes observed in fluoroquinolone-resistant clinical isolates of B. fragiliswere similar to those found in CIP-selected laboratory mutants, whereas peculiar mutational events could be selected in vitro with TRO.


We report on the measurement of the average polarization and forward-backward polarization asymmetry of tau leptons produced in electron-positron collisions at the Large Electron Positron (LEP) collider at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN). The data was collected using the L3 detector during 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993 and consists of approximately 86 000 Z ! + events. The tau polarization was determined as a function of the production polar angle using the following 1-prong decay modes: ! e e , !  , ! , ! , and ! a 1 . From this measurement we obtain the following ratio of vectorto axial-vector weak neutral couplings for taus and electrons: g V =g A = 0:0752 0:0063(stat:) 0:0045(syst:), g V =g A = 0:0791 0:0099(stat:) 0:0025(syst:). This is consistent with the hypothesis of e universality of the weak neutral current. Assuming lepton universality, we nd the e ective weak mixing angle sin e W = 0:2309 0:0016.

Several [3 + 2] thermal cycloadditions between azomethine ylides and nitroalkenes have been studied both theoretically and experimentally. When the N-metalated 1,3-dipoles are used, the reaction is stepwise. The corresponding zwitterionic intermediates have been located computationally and observed by NMR monitoring. In the case of N-unsubstituted azomethine ylides, the reaction can be concerted or stepwise, depending upon the ability of the substituents to stabilize zwitterionic intermediates. A general model is proposed to explain the observed phenomena. This simple model can be extended to other thermal cycloadditions to predict the stepwise or concerted nature of their mechanisms without computing complete reaction coordinates.


In this study a new fully soft switched converter with a single switch is presented. The relatively small value of required passive circuit elements in this converter makes its implementation simple and cost-efficient. Since this converter operates at fully soft-switching conditions without any extra switches and low number of circuit components, the proposed converter is highly efficient. The other advantage of this converter is its inherent power factor correction (PFC) feature. In this study, the proposed converter is introduced and its theoretical analysis is presented. Also a prototype converter is implemented and the experimental results are presented to verify the theoretical analysis.


The process and mechanism of powder mixing are presented,with a brief evaluation of numerical simulation and experimental research in recent years.


In this paper, I study the e¤ect of labor income mobility on lifetime inequality in the United States and Germany. I estimate models of labor income dynamics using PSID and GSOEP, and then simulate the lifetime income distribution. I use a ‡exible copula approach in which I extend the existing copula models to allow for a more general form of individual unobserved heterogeneity and to allow for a second order Markov transitory component. I …nd that these extensions improve the …t of the copula model and change the conclusions that can be drawn. My results show that, when using a ‡exible copula-form individual heterogeneity, the rise in mobility in the 90's in the United States can compensate for the increase in cross-sectional inequality, leading to a similar lifetime inequality across the 80's and 90's, which is not found in the more traditional speci…cations. On the other hand, Germany experienced a slight decrease in mobility over the same period, and thus an increase in both lifetime and cross-sectional inequality. My results also show that, despite a higher mobility, the lifetime income inequality in the United States is still much higher than that in Germany. JEL classi…cation numbers: D31, J31, J60, J64


The prevalence of oral disease is a neglected epidemic. 60% of Americans do not have dental insurance over 40% of those 65 years old and older have no teeth and dental disease causes 14.3 million days of restricted activity each year. Only 25% of eligible children receive dental care under Medicaid. 84% of teens have had tooth decay and 60% of them have gum infections. African American low-income and Native American children have 65% 91% and 265% respectively more untreated caries than their peers. 97% of homeless persons need dental care. Dental expenditures in Medicaid fell by more than 50% in the 1980s. 30% of the first signs of HIV infection appear in the oral cavity. National efforts are attempting to alleviate this situation. Legislation requires states to collect data on health care needs and oral health is part of the year 2000 health objective for the nation. California will complete its first state-wide oral health needs assessment in 1993 which comprises the oral health needs of children and local specific information for program planning. The Dental Health Foundation will train dental examiners to conduct the assessment and survey. The Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) program is responsible for referring children for an annual preventive dental visit. The state-wide average for referral of a child with a dental condition is 4.9%. State-funded dental assessments of children affect 10% Asian 2% Black 77% Hispanic and 10% White children. CHDP data reports can be used to design target and implement dental interventions.


Abstract : The Alpha-dot system is a coding technique that enables people to input data using familiar shapes in a form that is also directly compatible with computers and other binary data processors The technique can be used as the basis for a number of devices and procedures for the two-day communication of information between man and machine. Ten enlisted personnel entered both free form and formatted versions of simulated enemy situation spot reports. Learning time as well as rate and accuracy of data entry using the Alpha-dot keyboard was compared to operator performance using a standard typewriter. The Alpha-dot technique appears to have potential as a means to increase the speed, accuracy and flexibility of input of battlefield data by frontline observers. Functional specifications for a militarized field operable unit will be developed following field tests of a prototype unit.

In the present study, drying of Konya-Ilgn lignite (a Turkish lignite) was modelled by using thin-layer drying models from the literature and a new empirical model. The required experimental works were carried out at different experimental conditions in a fixed bed dryer. The experimental conditions were 0.4 m/s, 0.7 m/s and 1.1 m/s drying air velocities, 70°C, 100°C and 130°C drying air temperatures, 20 mm, 35 mm and 50 mm particle sizes and 80 mm, 130 mm and 150 mm bed heights. The performance of thin-layer drying models was evaluated by a statistical method. The results showed that the proposed model achieves better results than thin-layer drying models in the literature. Therefore, the proposed empirical model may be used to represent drying characteristics of any material. [Received: June 16, 2016; Accepted: December 7, 2016]


Elderly is not a disease, but is an advanced stage of a life process characterized by a decrease in the body's ability to adapt to environmental stress. Elderly causes anatomical, physiological, and biochemical changes in the body, so that it will affect the overall function and ability of the body. The study aims to determine the picture of independence and cognitive function in the elderly. The study used a descriptive method with a sample of 108 elderly in the City of Kendal Indonesia. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution. The results showed the majority of respondents (81.5%) elderly were categorized as having the ability to independently level and 78.6% had normal cognitive function, 18.5% had mild cognitive impairment, and 1.9% had severe cognitive impairment.

Ultrastructural disruption of myelin sheaths and a loss of myelin with age are well‐documented phenomena in both the human and rhesus monkey. Age‐dependent activation of calpain‐1 (EC 220.127.116.11) has been suggested as a plausible mechanism for increased proteolysis in the white matter of the rhesus monkey. The present study documents activation of calpain‐1 throughout brain white matter in aged animals, evidenced by immunodetection of the activated enzyme as well as a calpain‐derived spectrin fragment in both tissue section and Triton X‐100‐soluble homogenate of subcortical white matter from the frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes. Separation of myelin fractions from brain stem tissue into intact and floating myelin confirmed previous reports of an age‐related increase in activated calpain‐1 in the floating fraction. Measurements of calpain‐1 activity using a fluorescent substrate revealed an age‐related increase in calpain‐1 proteolytic activity in the floating myelin fraction consistent with immunodetection of the activated enzyme in this fraction. Double‐immunofluorescence demonstrated co‐localization of activated calpain‐1 with human leukocyte antigen‐DR (HLA‐DR), a marker for activated microglia, suggesting that these cells represent the major source of the increase in activated calpain‐1 in the aging brain. These data solidify the role of calpain‐1 in myelin protein metabolism and further implicate activated microglia in the pathology of the aging brain.


This paper deals with the problem of finite frequency (FF) H∞ filter for nonlinear continuous-time systems in the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model. The objective is to propose a new design sufficient condition via linear matrix Inequality (LMIs) formulations, ensuring that the filtering error system is stable and has a minimized H∞ performance when frequency ranges of noises are known beforehand. Less conservative results are obtained by using the generalized Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (gKYP) lemma, Finsler's lemma and some independent matrices. An example about a tunnel diode circuit is given to illustrate the effectiveness and the less conservatism of the proposed approach in comparison with the existing methods.

Objective To evaluate local and systemic response to the developed synthetic denture adhesive(DA),by oral membrane irritation test.Clinical investigation was discussed in this article as well.Methods Ten hamsters were used in this research and divided into 2 groups evenly.The eluates of DA and positive control materials were fixed on the left of oral membrane of each 5 hamsters' pouch separately,while the negative materials were put on the right side of all the 10 tested animals.After 1 h,4 h,6 h and 8 h of local and systemic observation,the local oral membrane specimens were viewed under microscope.Twenty edentulous patients with complete dentures were selected for this research also.The maximum biting force was recorded before and after application of the adhesive to all the new and old dentures.Results The results showed that there were no local or systemic abnormal response to the test material.The clinical investigation data indicated that significantly greater biting forces were generated with old dentures than with the new dentures.Conclusion The developed DA exhibited no abnormal oral mucous membrane irritating response and the generally favorable clinical performance indicated that it might be an efficacious denture adhesive.


ABSTRACT The feedstock of updraft Fixed-Bed Gasifier must meet very strict criteria such as low fragmentation, non-caking property and high ash fusion temperature (AFT), which represent the general characteristic of medium rank coal. In this paper, the properties of low-rank coal were carefully selected according to literature recommendations such as high AFT (above 1500°C), low grindability (HGI 55), swelling index (FSI 1) and lump size ranging from 30 to 80 mm. Thermal fragmentation was also evaluated by using sieve analysis and show Fd value of 0.81. After 90 h of service time, the temperatures of the vessel body declined gradually and 580 kg/h gasifier reactor was forced to shut down after 300 h. The rotating grate was found severely damaged with a large deposit of char. The OES, SEM, EDS and XRD analysis results confirmed each other that rotating grate has experienced excessively high temperature during gasification. It is likely that high breakage during devolatilization is the root cause of all operational problems. It causes melting of the cone, block the air exit ports, localize pressure drop, aggravate bed channeling, and so on. It is possible that FSI value is not necessarily to be low to maintain uniform pressure drop of the gasifier.

The Islamic Concept of Green Organizational Leadership Model: A Abstract Previous researchers find that the existence of green organizations is very important as it not only can overcome environmental pollution but also has a positive impact on organizational management by helping to reduce costs, increasing profitability, and overcoming global competition. Hence, the need to create green organizations is becoming more critical because of the increase in worldwide environmental pollution including the air, water, and sound pollution. Fortunately, previous researchers also find that green organizational leadership is the key to create successful green organizations. However, green organizational leadership from Islamic perspective have not been discussed yet although researchers have predicted that most of the human population in the worldwide are estimated to be Muslims by the year 2070. Hence, this paper aims to develop the Islamic Concept of Green Organizational Leadership Model (ICGOLM) as a new model that can be referred to develop green organizational leaders from Islamic perspective. Using literature review, the ICGOLM hypothesized that green climate psychology mediates the relationship between Islamic concept of green organizational leadership (ICGOL) and strategic green behaviour. the ICGOL comprises six competencies including the intellectual, professional, moral, social, emotional, and Islamic competencies. The model is beneficial to develop action plan and intervention, government policy and rules, and initiative to create successful green organization especially in Muslim countries. However, the ICGOLM model should be tested further using empirical study.

The light ceramic tiles are suitable for large scale industrial production.


Cardiac arrest leads often to death or permanent neurological damage, despite prompt advanced life support and resuscitation. Ischaemia-reperfusion injury persists, although circulation and cardiac function has been restored. The most vulnerable organs for hypoxemia and reperfusion injury are the brain and heart. The only proven intervention against ongoing ischaemia-reperfusion injury is targeted temperature management to core temperature of 33–36 °C for 24 hours after cardiac arrest. Still, at least on average third of the succesfully from ventricular fibrillation-generated cardiac arrest resuscitated patients die, particularly to hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury. The noble gas xenon is an anaesthetic gas, which has been demonstrated in preclinical animal models to attenuate posthypoxic brain and myocardial injury. Xenon has many properties of "an ideal anaesthetic", but being so scarce and laborous to extract makes it expensive. In this clinical trial, the standard-of-care after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, targeted temperature management to 33 °C for 24 hours, was compared to hypothermia supplemented with inhaled xenon for 24 hours. Both study groups consisted of 55 cardiac arrest victims and the postarrest care was identical in both groups and in accordance with current international guidelines. Cerebral hypoxic-ischaemic injury was assessed with brain diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging after rewarming. Fractional anistrophy (FA) value corresponds to the microintegrity of brain white matter tracts and is diminished after injury. Cardiac troponin-T is a marker of cardiomyocyte injury, which was serially assessed during 72 hours following resuscitation. The main findings of this study were, that combining inhaled xenon and therapeutic hypothermia in cardiac arrest patients was safe and feasible. The combination of xenon and hypothermia significantly attenuated brain white matter injury illustrated with higher FA-values. After adjustements for age, sex, study site, primary coronary percutaneous intevention (PCI) and noradrenaline dose, Troponin-T values were lower at 72 hours post OHCA in the xenon group corresponding to an mitigating effect in myocardial injury. These results translate to significant neuroand cardioprotection against ongoing ischaemia-reperfusion injury by xenon inhalation combined with hypothermia. The overall mortality in this study was 30,9 %. The study was underpowered to demonstrate differences in outcome or functional neurological recovery.


Terrain classification provides valuable information for both control and navigation algorithms of wheeled mobile robots. In this paper, a novel online outdoor terrain classification algorithm is proposed for wheeled mobile robots. The algorithm is based on only time-domain features with both low computational and low memory requirements, which are extracted from the inertial and magnetic sensor signals. Multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural networks are applied as classifiers. The algorithm is tested on a measurement database collected using a prototype measurement system for various outdoor terrain types. Different datasets were constructed based on various setups of processing window sizes, used sensor types, and robot speeds. To examine the possibilities of the three applied sensor types in the application, the features extracted from the measurement data of the different sensors were tested alone, in pairs and fused together. The algorithm is suitable to operate online on the embedded system of the mobile robot. The achieved results show that using the applied time-domain feature set the highest classification efficiencies on unknown data can be above 98%. It is also shown that the gyroscope provides higher classification rates than the widely used accelerometer. The magnetic sensor alone cannot be effectively used but fusing the data of this sensor with the data of the inertial sensors can improve the performance.


The process of surface modification of nanometer calcium carbonate using stearic acid and titanate as compound coupling agent was studied by using orthogonal experimental method. The influence of modification agent dosage, emulsion temperature, emulsion time and constant temperature time on the property of nano- CaCO_3 was investigated. The optimum conditions were obtained, which were as follows: titanate coupling agent dosage was 1.2% of nano- CaCO_3, stearic acid dosage was 4% of nano- CaCO_3, emulsion temperature was 70 ℃, emulsion time was 90min and constant temperature time was 80min. The active exponent, the oil absorption value and the settling volume of the modified and the unmodified nano- CaCO_3 and the viscosity of the modified and the unmodified nano- CaCO_3/DOP system were measured. The results showed that the active exponent of the modified nanometer calcium carbonate was 99.90%, the oil absorption value was 15.23 ml·(100g)~(-1), the viscosity of CaCO_3/DOP system was decreased remarkably and the lipophilicity of the modified nanometer calcium carbonate was increased markedly.

: In the steels with different particle dispersion, particle dispersion strengthening Δσ was theoretical-ly estimated by Orowan model and Ashby-Orowan model. The comparison of experimental data with theoretical values proved the reasonability of Orowan model rather than Ashby-Orowan model. In Ash-by-Orowan model, the line tension coefficient of dislocation is evaluated much smaller and this leads to the under-estimation of Δσ . It was also confirmed that there is no effect of grain size on 0.2% proof stress of the steels used. As a result, it is concluded that the yield stress of steels with finely dispersed particle can be explained by the addition of friction stress and particle dispersion strengthening, in the case the grain size is sufficiently larger than the particle dispersion spacing.


Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is a fundamental problem in the mobile robotics. As SLAM is usually utilized in an indoor environment, we select the ceiling view (CV) as a stable source of features. In this research, three types of features are extracted from CV and constitute a single map. The landmarks detected from ceilings are ceiling boundaries, electric lamps, and circles. Each of them is very robustly detected from CV and the combination of them yields more stable and accurate localization performance. Multiple kinds of features are integrated into an EKF-SLAM framework. We demonstrated the SLAM system in an indoor environment and proved its high performance.


In this paper,the latest progress on lithium manganese oxide as cathode materials of lithium ion secondary battery was reviewed.The studied materials related to lithium manganese oxide include LiMn 2O 4,Li 4Mn 5O 9 and Li 4Mn 5O 12 with spinel structure and LiMnO 2 with layered structure.As to LiMn 2O 4,its capacity fading phenomena resulted from Jahn-Teller distortion has been overcome efficiently through introduction of suitable interatoms and by using a novel sol-gel preparation method.Li 4Mn 5O 9 and Li 4Mn 5O 12 synthesized by low temperature route can be ideal cathode materials for lithium ion secondary battery with average output voltage 3V.Weight capacity of LiMnO 2 with layered structure can be as high as 270mAh/g,which is higher than that of cathode materials used currently,and its cycle properties is quite satisfactory.With the development of electronics technologies,lithium ion secondary battery using lithium manganese oxide as cathode would be widely used.


The utility model discloses an underground buoyant apparatus. In order to overcome the defects that the existing market is lack of the instruments used for scientifically, conveniently and fast saving persons in a well or deep ditches, the rescuing personnel need to go into the well, the rescue operation is dangerous and inconvenient, the time is possibly delayed, and the like. In the utility model, the lower end of the buoyant apparatus is open and has no bottom surface; a tying rope is connected with the open edge of the lower end of the buoyant apparatus through the wall of the buoyant apparatus; and counterweight articles are arranged at the circumferential edges of the open part of the lower end of the buoyant apparatus. The underground buoyant is suitable for rescuing lives in wells and deep ditches, has low manufacturing cost, can be operated simply and conveniently, and can carry out the rescue without requiring the rescuing personnel to go into the well.


n his recent biography of William Shakespeare, the critic Jonathan Bate writes: 'Gathering what we can from his plays and poems: that is how we will write a biography that is true to him' (xix). This statement acknowledges a widely recognized truth—that a writer's work reflects his milieu, his experiences, his thoughts, and his own personality. It was the remarkable gap between the known facts about Shakespeare of Stratford and the traits and characteristics of the author revealed in the Shakespeare canon that led an English schoolmaster to suppose that the real author was someone else, and to search for him in the backwaters of Elizabethan poetry. This inquiry led him to conclude that 'William Shakespeare' was a nom de plume that concealed the identity of England's greatest poet and dramatist, and that continued to hide it from readers, playgoers, and scholars for hundreds of years. In 1920, J. Thomas Looney published his unique work of investigative scholarship, demonstrating that the man behind the Shakespeare name and the Shakespeare canon was Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford (1550-1604). 1


b S Supporting Information I n 1958, Esaki measured the current of degenerately doped Ge diodes 1 and showed that charge transport at small biases is completely governed by the laws of quantum tunneling through the space charge region of the junction. In recent years, this interband tunneling in highly doped pn-junctions has attracted particular interest for low-power logic devices. By designing a transistor based on a gated p-in structure, it is theoretically possible to reach inverse subthreshold slopes below the thermal limit (60 mV/dec) at room temperature, which is encountered in conventional metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). This would enable further supply voltage scaling 2 to reduce the surging power dissipation in logic circuits. However , a major drawback in these so-called tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) is the lack of high drive currents reported for homojunction transistors. 3 By taking advantage of band alignments in heterojunction transistors, this figure of merit can be drastically improved, as predicted theoretically. 4 Using semiconductor nanowires, a large freedom in combining different materials exists because of the efficient strain relaxation in reduced dimensions. 5 On the other hand, if the lattice mismatch is very high, these heterointerfaces could still suffer from defect formation such as dislocations. It is therefore important to understand how such defects affect the tunneling process in lattice mismatched heterojunctions. In this Letter, we report on the electrical and structural characterization of Si-InAs nanowire heterojunction Esaki diodes, a new material combination not available in bulk systems because of the very high lattice mismatch (11.6%). It is shown that the low-temperature conductance has distinct features that are attributed to dislocations and other defects at the heterointerface. The number of such defects that mainly contribute to the excess current leads to a strong variation in the peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR). Therefore device-to-device spread in excess currents indicates varying defect concentrations at the hetero-interface. Furthermore, electrical stressing of the junction is demonstrated to induce more defects, which is readily observable in the diode conductance. In addition, our experiments provide further insight into the spatial occurrence of the tunnel generation rates in these Si-InAs heterojunction devices and their importance for the device characteristics. The Si-InAs heterojunction Esaki diodes were fabricated by growing InAs nanowires using metalÀorganic chemical vapor deposition selectively in patterned silicon oxide openings on AE111ae p-type silicon substrates. 6 In all devices, the Si substrate boron doping was 1 Â 10 20 …


A view of the Willlamette River wakes me up every morning as I emerge from my cocoon of sleep into the heavy wet valley air. On my bike I head upstream, which for this crazy river is south. Headwaters at Waldo Lake, the Willamette comes from some of the most oligotrophic waters in this US of A. What happens to it on the way? Everyone I talk to seems to know this river-land somehow: personally, casually, slowly or in passing. The river has infiltrated the mind and imagination of this valley just like it has defined its development. How do we treat the land around the river and what does this say about you, me, this Eugene that we consider as a 'community'? The further that I dig the more it becomes apparent: oral history is like the soil of this river valley, it is important because it belongs to each and everyone of us and must be cultivated as a common good. Sometimes the water is brown, frothing the giddy banks pelted with rain.. Late at night under the stars it is glasslike and eerie. When the sun comes out it is a place to gather, breath, think, play music, meditate, and walk. Appreciate the ducks, herons, nutria, beaver, turtles, frogs, osprey, the cottonwood smell, willow catkins, alder cones. Feed the goose that the old couple has named Matilda. Smile at a stranger. Help plant native trees and vegetation. Work in a community garden. Put your hands in the soil. Imagine back 1000, 100, 10 years ago. This river has been central to people for millennia. Back when it had a mile wide meander and created mosaics which, if seen from above would have been like a 10 rope tangle, green and gravels and sands, islands and marshy and wet and steep, shallow, swift and slow, vegetation patchy, diverse, dynamic. A pattern that reflects larger patterns... the pattern shifts with our community's meanders, now we see land change here and think of the rest of the world, the Ganges, Euphrates, Amazon or the muddy little stream in our backyard when it rains a lot, the swimming hole we once knew, The finca we grew up on, the way it used to be. The river is collective memory. Listen. .---E.G. February 2006.


Let A be a well-formed formula of first-order modal logic whose only free variable is x. We shall use the following abbreviations: Mat(A) for (x)[OA * 0~A] Form(A) for (x)[DA vD-i] Ban(A) for ((x)DA) v ((x)U~A) Pred(A) for Form(A) v Mat(A). We read Mat(A), FormjA), and Ban(A) respectively as: "A is material", "A is formal", and "A is banal"; Pred(A) is the assertion of the Principle of Predica-tion for A. We prove that if F and M are formulas whose only free variable is x such that BanjF), Form(F), and Mat(M) are true in any suitable T-model, then PredjF A M) and PredjF v M) are not acceptable as axioms. Theorem The formulas: (1) ~Ban{F) A Form(F) A MoUiM) D ~Pred(M A F) (2) ~Ban(F) A Form(F) A 7to(Af) D ~Pred(M v F) ore r-vfl/W. be a T-model ([1], p. 171) and w t e W. If V(~Ban(F) A Form(F) A Mat(M), w () = 1 then V(~Ban(F), w () = 1 and there exist a, Z? e Z); such that: (3) F*(O~F, w/) = 1 and V b (OF, w t) = 1 where V a and F & are just like V except for assigning a and b, respectively, tox.

The purpose of this paper is to show the existence of a unique solution for some non-linear time-independent transport equations and to present a recursion formula for the construction of the solution by successive approximations. An error estimate for the approximate solutions is given. The approach to the problem entails the use of a semi-inner product in a Banach space together with the contraction mapping theorem. Particular attention is given to the linear transport problem and a recursion formula for the construction of the solution is included.


Email is the most common as well as the fastest medium for communicating around the globe. But, presently every day we used to get lots of junk emails in the name of "spam". This "spam" emails mainly used to contain two types of content, those are content like an advertisement, offers and, criminal activity content like a phishing website link, malware, trojan, etc. Those advertisements, offer types of spam or junk emails known as Unsolicited Commercial Emails and, those emails contain phishing website link, malware, trojan used to known as Unsolicited Bulk Emails. Whoever used to send spam emails, they are known as Spammers. Spammers mainly used to get the email address of target user from the websites, junk sites, browsers add on, etc. Naive Bayes algorithm is a probabilistic machine learning algorithm that mainly well-known for classifying spam emails. Naive Bayes algorithm mainly originated from Bayes Theorem. Bayes Theorem mainly used in conditional probability for elaborates the probability of an event in terms of when the probability of other event is true. In this research work, we have been performing Feature Extraction in terms of email characteristics and behavior. In this paper, we have been proposed a detection approach for classifying spam emails using Naïve Bayes classifier. In this research work, we have been used multiple email data-sets for implementing Naïve Bayes classifier. Those data sets are Spam Corpus, Spambase. Based on the results of WEKA (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis) tool, we have been performing Experimental analysis in terms of measuring the performance of Naïve Bayes classifier using parameters like Accuracy, Recall, Precision, F-measure. Based on correctly classified instances of emails and incorrectly classified instances of emails, lastly comparing the performance of Naïve Bayes classifier in multiple data sets.


In the last two decades a wide range of nanofabrication approaches have been developed based on top down lithography or bottom up self assembly. Here approaches based on colloidal monolayer masks combined with cleanroom processing such as Sparse Colloidal Lithography (SCL) [1] and Hole Mask Colloidal Lithography (HMCL) [2] will be presented. Traditionally these approaches have given arrays of circularly symmetric structures such as disks [3], holes [4], rings [5] and cones [2]. More recent approaches have allowed postmodification of the masks to change their size [6] or their shape. Colloidal lithography approaches have proven appropriate to allow arrays of novel plasmonic structures to be fabricated to study plasmon coupling [7], refractive index sensitivity [8] and chiral properties of arrays [9]. In this paper we report on a number of new fabrication approaches based on programmable angled evaporation, or post or pre-modification of colloidal masks. Figure 1 shows a range of post-modifications that can be made to the masks materials in HMCL and SCL to generate new structures. Specific examples of sensational biosensing [10] chiroptical materials and novel structures will be made. In situ deposition of sacrificial material of dielectric (e.g. Silicon oxide or Aluminium oxide) or metal (e.g. Silver or Aluminium) can be used to prepare mask materials that can be modified within the process and generate a systematically varied set of samples. Examples will be given of subtractive processes to generate 2D and 3D structures by first depositing silicon oxide or aluminium which is later removed by etching to generate asymmetric plasmonic structures. Other examples will be given of processes depositing silicon oxide mask materials registered to the colloidal nanoparticle defined patterns to allow fabrication of rings, crescents and asymmetric rings. Examples of final structures will be given.

Second Farewell to Cambridge" is not just a poem depicting scenery nor a departing poem nor a love poem, nor a pocitical poem. It's a silent song after the poet's frustrations of all his ideals. Cambrige is more of the poet's spiritual home than his mother school. It's a symbol of all his ideals. Silent Cammidge is not only the image,which annotates the poet's lonely soul,but also the carrier of the theme of the poem.


Scent over-marking occurs when an animal places its scent mark directly on top of another individual's scent mark. However, situations may arise in which the top- and bottom-scent donors of an over-mark differ in an individual characteristic(s), for example, gonadal hormone titres. We tested the hypothesis that adult meadow voles, Microtus pennsylvanicus, preferentially respond to a gonadectomized donor treated with gonadal steroid hormones over a gonadectomized donor not treated with gonadal steroid hormones, independently of the position of the scent marks in an over-mark. Male meadow voles spent more time investigating the scent marks of gonadectomized females treated with oestradiol than that of gonadectomized females treated with no oestradiol, independently of the position of the two scent marks in the over-mark. Female voles spent more time investigating the scent marks of gonadectomized males treated with testosterone than that of gonadectomized males treated with no testosterone, only when the former males were the top-scent donors. These results suggest that male meadow voles appear to base their preference on the oestradiol titre of females, rather than the position of the female's mark in an over-mark. In contrast, female meadow voles appear to use both the position of the male's scent mark in an over-mark and the male's testosterone titre for the basis of their preference.


Poor placental development has been associated with a variety of pregnancy-associated disorders, including preeclampsia. Placentation involves spatial and temporal regulation of cytotrophoblast (CTB) proliferation, differentiation and invasion. These processes, during early pregnancy occur in a relatively hypoxic environment and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-2 is abundantly expressed by the invading extravillous CTBs. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the interaction of O2 concentration and IGF-2 on CTB morphology and IGF-2 and IGF-2 receptor (IGF2R) gene expression in vitro. First trimester (7-8 weeks gestation) human placental villous explants were cultured in serum-free media with and without the addition of 125 ng/mL IGF-2, in 1%, 5%, or 20% O2 (6 groups). On day 6, explants were photographed and RNA was extracted and pooled (8 wells/treatment) for quantification of IGF-2, IGF2R and 18S RNA using real time RT-PCR. Photographs were scored for CTB column formation, the number of tips growing/explant and extravillous CTB phenotype (rounded or dendriform). Villous explants cultured in 1% and 5% O2 formed 55% and 40% more CTB cell columns than those cultured in 20% O2, respectively (P<0.001). Exogenous IGF-2 enhanced CTB outgrowth by 35% in 20% O2 explants (P=0.001), but not in those cultured in 1% or 5% O2. Less than half of extravillous CTBs exhibited a dendriform migratory phenotype in 20% O2 compared to 1% O2 (P=0.02). IGF-2 expression relative to 18S RNA, was increased 3-fold and 2.5-fold in explants cultured in 1% O2 compared with 5% and 20%, respectively, but this was not significant. IGF-2 mRNA was positively correlated with extravillous CTB migration (r=0.38, P=0.009). There was no effect of treatment on IGF2R transcription in placental villous explants, but IGF2R expression was positively correlated with cell column formation (r=0.37, P=0.01) and extravillous CTB migration (r=0.56, P<0.000). In conclusion, culture in low O2 promotes early CTB outgrowth and addition of IGF-2 mimics this effect. Our previous work found a positive correlation between IGF-2 mRNA synthesis and CTB cell column formation on an individual well basis. These data suggest that the effect of hypoxia may be mediated by IGF-2.


This paper raises the question of the impact that the increasing use of information and communication technologies (ICT) has on the process of creating value and the differentiation in service activities. We shall develop the idea that electronic intermediation tends to "impoverish" service relations, insomuch as the technological interface can by no means replace the wealth of human interactions on which the creation of value and the differentiation of services are based. So it is mainly a theoretical contribution based on American and French academic works in the field of services marketing management.


The measurement of viscosity coefficient of liquids is vital in plentiful fields. There are numerous ways to measure the viscosity coefficient such as capillary and rotary rheometry in which falling ball method is mostly widely used. The uncertainty of the terminal velocity and the limit of the viscosity coefficient scale are the principled disadvantages of the method. In our work, the relationship between the displacement and time is obtained by integral calculation. What's more, we considered the radius of the ball, the radius of the graduated cylinder, and the height of the graduated cylinder by theoretical correction of the stokes expression. The new correction expression broadens the measured viscosity coefficient scale and also improves the precision dramatically. Experimental verification is also well processed which fits well with our theory. The deviation between the viscosity coefficient of castor oil measured by the new correction method and the standard value is only 0.045. The relationship between displacement and time is consistent with the theoretical prediction, and the room mean square error of the two is 0.065. Based on them, this method can be widely used in scientific researches and teaching practices.


The relatively high quality and robustness are quite essential in the engineering robust optimiza-tion design. Therefore, in this paper, the robust optimization problem is converted into a two-objective opti-mization problem, with one objective being the optimization of solutions, and another being the robustnessof solutions. The robust optimization design is implemented to the transverse section of a multi-purposeship whose maximum stress is close to the allowable stress. Firstly, the approximate model of the hull cabinis constructed by using the method of Support Vector Machines(SVM) to obtain the maximum stress. Then,by combining with the idea of Monte Carlo integration, the function that represents the robustness of themaximum stress is constructed. Finally, aiming to minimize the maximum stress and the robustness func-tion, the multi-objective optimization method is proposed to solve the robust optimization task. Optimiza-tion results not only demonstrate a reduction in the maximum stress of the hull structure, but also a great im-provement in the robustness of the maximum stress, proving the feasibility of the presented method.

The importance of fishery products and its marketing has always been an important discourse among scholars due to its contribution to gross national product and per capital income of fishermen and marketers in nations with fishing capabilities. In Nigeria, however, given increasing demand for fish, there seems to be a potentially strong market for the product. The study seems to quantify the determinants of factors influencing the performance of small-scale fish marketing in Dutsinma local government of Katsina State. Kendalls coefficient of concordance was used to test the agreement between ranked constraints of small-scale fish marketing in relation to performance. A sample size of (50) Fish marketers were drawn by a simple random technique from a registered population of(102) for two months and a structured questionnaire was used to elicit their responses from the Market. Data was analysed using statistical packaged for social sciences (SPSS). Results of the analysis indicated that age of marketers (p<0.01), years of formal education (p<0.01), annual cost incurred (p<0.01), membership of cooperative society (p<0.01) initial capital invested (p<0.01 are the most influential determinants of small scale fish marketing. The Kendalls coefficient of concordance indicates that there is 78% agreement between the respondents in the ranking of constraints in relation to performance, poor access to credit facilities, poor market infrastructures and poor record keeping habit are the most important constraints faced by small fish marketers. Based on the results we recommend a flexible and favourable policy geared toward helping young entrepreneurs through improved market infrastructures.

Based on the failure model of building structural steels under earthquake loading, the low cycle fatigue test at constant strain, the stochastical fatigue test under real earthquake load spectrum and the structural fatigue test are carried out. The experimental results show that microalloying of V Ti and Nb can improve the anti-seismic propersties of steel bars. In the high strain and shori life range, both the static strength and ductility of steels are very important to increasing the low cycle fatigue resistance of steels.
